Not only was this my first time completing a 3D print, but it was also the first time that I had stepped into a 3D printing lab. Learning how to use the Ultimaker 3 printer inspired me and made me eager to explore the numerous design opportunities that are now at my fingertips. By far, my favorite part of this experience was being able to watch the 3D printer do its job. Its precision, intricate detail, and uniform movements were mesmerizing to watch. Before this lab, I held the notion that the printer and the accompanying Ultimaker Cura were going to be extremely confusing and intimidating to use. To my surprise, it happened to be quite user-friendly. Now I am confident that through regular usage of the printers, I will develop a new skill and potential hobby.
Not only does this print serve a functional purpose, but it also displays my school spirit. I am already looking forward to my next print!
